My SO works in sales/marketing. She has a very frank convo with recruits and new hires. First acknowledges that jobs last 3-5 years. Next, asks them to consider what they want to get from this gig, in the time that they have. Goals, skills, experience, pivots, whatever. Then works with them to make it happen.
She's still in contact with former coworkers decades later. Has multiple repeat hires as everyone bounces around from job to job.
My SO's strategy is smart, practical, and humane.
I've never had an employer or boss like my SO. Like this OC notes, most gigs treat you like compost once you move on. (FWIW, the times I've been the boss, I've done what I can to be like my SO.)
